Thanks To Dog 'Catchers'

Published: Saturday, May 27, 2000

This is to express our thanks to the two young men who returned my daughter's Chocolate Lab. Hershey had been missing for close to 9 1/2 hours and we had given him up for gone. I had gotten a call at work alerting me to the fact that he was missing and I looked for him in our neighborhood, and visited many businesses on the 4200 block of 84th St., as well as neighbors of ours. I followed up on all the leads that I got.

But, fortunately, I spoke to the right person. When the two young men came back around the neighborhood looking for the owner, a neighbor recognized the missing dog. Hershey really had never left the area. He was swimming in another neighbor's pool, and the two young men who were cleaning the pool took him home and later that night returned to try to find the owners.

I didn't get their names, and they refused a reward, but the parents of these young men can be very proud of them. Thanks for what you did.
